https://shakingfist.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/megan-lochte-is-a-horrible-person/#respondSat, 25 Aug 2012 14:04:48 +0000http://shakingfist.wordpress.com/?p=388This is the first story in almost three years for which it was worth coming out of retirement…

Let’s break this down. Megan Lochte is Ryan Lochte’s sister. Four years ago, after returning from the Beijing Olympics, she went on a Maryland talk show and decided it was going to be hilarious to give her thoughts on China and Chinese/Asian people. Observe this worthless human being in the clip below:

What a lovely young lady. Here are some choice quotes:

Host: How long were you there?
Megan: We were there for over a week. China was chinked out.

[Update: the racist douchebag known as Megan Lochte has made statements to Celebuzz saying the video clip was taken out of context. She claims that she was playing a character that was racist and that her racist rant does not reflect her personal views or opinions.

Okay, fine, let’s just for a moment say we believe her. THIS DOESN’T CHANGE MUCH. You can’t go around saying that stuff. Let’s give it the racist litmus test: what would have happened if she did the same thing after visiting Africa? Would she have had the ovaries to go on television and start spouting the N-word, talking about fried chicken and watermelon? Mmmm… Methinks not. So why is it all of a sudden social commentary if you’re doing it with Asian people? Sorry, Megan. You’re still a racist douche.]

All we’re missing is a math textbook, a kung-fu outfit, and the Laundromat/Grocery Store/Nail Salon playset! Way to go, Playmobil!

Ching Chong Family!

Teaching stereotypes, one child at a time.

Asshats.

https://shakingfist.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/miley-iclassy-as-always/#commentsTue, 11 Aug 2009 14:13:20 +0000http://shakingfist.wordpress.com/?p=355Miley Cyrus: Proving once again, you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the stripper out of– wait a minute…

Last night at the Teen Choice Awards, Miley performed her song “Party In The USA.” First, she emerges from what appears to be a big mobile home. Go figure. Then, she gave all her teen (and tween) fans a real treat when she hopped up on a ice cream cart and undulated around a tall, silver pole…

Um. What? Forget the fact that Miley sings like a wanna-be karaoke contest winner. Forget the slightly questionable outfit she wore to the TEEN Choice Awards. This is not okay.

Now, there are some idiots out there who think this was totally cool. After all, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders dance around in little cheerleading outfits all the time, right? Wrong. Someone whose TARGET audience is made up of little girls should probably avoid slutting it up and pole-dancing on national TV. Period. I know there was that exotic dancing exercise craze a little while back… But c’mon, how many 11-year old girls were enrolled in stripper dance class?

More on this ridiculousness here and here. Video below (fast forward to 1:00, unless you really want to hear her sing).

UPDATE: Ed Norwick, the general manager of New York stripclub SCORES, has issued the following statement:

“While Miley did show off some skills, we at SCORES cannot encourage this kind of behavior for women under the legal age. If she’d like to come try out in a couple of years, our door’s open!”

It is unclear exactly how this expression came to be, but the consensus is that it is based on Native Americans having a distinctly different sense of property ownership as opposed to those of European ancestry. One theory holds that early European settlers in North America misinterpreted aid and goods they received from Native Americans as “gifts,” when in fact they were intended to be offered in trade, as many tribes operated economically by some form of barter system, or a gift economy where reciprocal giving was practiced.[6] It is also theorized that this stereotype may have been coined or exaggerated by the conquering European groups to denigrate the native people as dishonest and thereby justify their conquest.[6] A popular myth started by Europeans tells of early settlers trading firearms to a group of Native Americans for maize, who then promptly turned the guns on the Europeans and reclaimed their crop.

Just something to think about the next time you use or hear that phrase.

Officer Douchebag

Well, if you’re like Adrainne Ledesma (or, I don’t know, pretty much anyone), you’d freak out and/or call 9-1-1. That’s what she did. What happened? According to ABC News in Detroit, Sgt. Robert McFarland, the officer who picked up the call, admonishes her for cursing. Yep. Adrainne’s dad is writhing on the floor in the middle of a seizure and this douchebag decides it’d be a great time to lecture her… And then HANG UP ON HER.

THREE TIMES.

So finally, when her dad is squared away and being looked after by her brother, Adrainne heads over to the police station to file a complaint. What happened?
